Corporate Plan 2020-21: Covering reporting periods 2020-21 to 2023-24
Introduction
On behalf of the Council of the National Library of Australia (the accountable authority), we present the National Library’s 2020–21 Corporate Plan, as required under paragraph 35(1)(b) of the
Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013. The plan is prepared in accordance with the
Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Rule 2014.
The Corporate Plan is the principal planning document that outlines the Library’s purpose, priorities and proposed actions. We report against the plan in the National Library of Australia Annual Report, tabled in parliament each year by the Minister for Communications, Cyber Safety and the Arts.
Corporate Plan 2016-2020
The Council of the National Library of Australia, as the accountable authority of the National Library of Australia, presents the 2016-2020 National Library Corporate Plan, as required under paragraph 35(1)(b) of the
Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013. The plan is prepared in accordance with the
Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Rule 2014.
Purpose
The Library enables and is a participant in the creation of knowledge. It develops, curates and preserves an astounding and diverse collection that inspires, delights and educates Australians. The Library’s collections and services extend understanding of issues of contemporary significance, build strong community connections and underpin its leadership activities.
Annual Procurement Plan
Strategic Procurement Outlook: The National Library of Australia is a major centre for scholarship and research. We build, care for and provide access to a national collection of material in many forms. The Library is not a prescribed entity under the
Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013 for purposes of the Commonwealth Procurement Rules but has chosen to comply with the principles and processes wherever appropriate.
The procurements listed in this forecast are anticipated at the time of creation of the Plan and as revised. However, there is no guarantee that any or all purchases will proceed; or that they will proceed at the time planned; or of the actual manner of approach to the market place.
The National Library of Australia acknowledges Australia’s First Nations Peoples – the First Australians – as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of this land and gives respect to the Elders – past and present – and through them to all Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
